I've had a single fileserver running DAFS with less valuable data for more
than a year, but as the only issue it saw was some interaction issues with
an AFS client of Harald's, I had no fear of finally upgrading the rest. That
server was running 1.6.2. The rest were running 1.4.something. I emptied
three servers, upgraded them to NetBSD 6.1.3 and OpenAFS 1.6.5 from
pkgsrc, adding a patch for davolserver. (I'll update the package to 1.6.6
in my copious free time this week, maybe, unless I'm beaten to that.)
Then I dumped another fileserver at them. As far as I can tell the other
two are working flawlessly. At least by comparison. The oldest is fine.

I will note that the volumes on the server that's falling over at
midnight:02
every night were previously on a different server that was also not staying
up more than a few days at a time. So there may be something odd with
a volume, I just don't know which one yet.
For what it's worth, when I did the restart this morning, the backupsys
continued on its merry way.
